We purchased a house in 3 days on our first visit. After seeing the Villages we decided to look for a house. We only had 2 criteria, actually 3 if you include the price we were willing to pay. Actually they were my wifes criteria. She wanted to be near water and wanted a closed kitchen. That was it. We were shown both resales and new houses and found a house that met our criteria in a couple of days. Fortunately we are located in a great location with many golf courses nearby and LSL being 10 minutes by golf cart. However this was not planned as we really had very little idea where this house was located. We lucked out there. We have been in this house for 6 years this coming April and have no intention of moving. We purchased this house before we sold our house in NJ and had not much of an idea how much that house would sell for. If we had known we probably would have purchased a more expensive house or at least raised our purchase price criteria.
